I like all the friends I have made at the Dragon and there is no need to put any of them into a dangerous situation trying to out run me or anyone. BigKid, Tom, I trust to run with me, because I have seen their driving style. There are others, who tend to cross that yellow line, which isn't safe, so I don't play. I was playing with a modded yellow C5 vette, eating his tail until he had to cut corners, crossing the yellow line, trying to shake me...which he did, I quit...no need to get someone hurt to prove a point...Johnny, you are the only one who ever witnessed me all out, and I haven't done it again down there since that day...I just play and have fun with it...Tom got a small show, but not all out...we need a track for that...buy the SRT, you won't be disappointed...now my NA friends...your cars are just fine, and I miss driving a stick as well...so don't take what I said wrong...I like your cars too.....just do this stuff safely...pick your area well....I'm done...lol
Stock for stock they are clearly not equal. They will never be equal in a straight line, but in the twisties that's an entirely different ball game. I can build a customer a car (and have) that will outperform any stock SRT for les then the price difference of getting a SRT. Plus you get to keep a stick. As long as drivers are equal, the NA wil win. Guaranteed. Now with that said I can also build u a civic for less then half the cost of both that will dominate. Basically just enjoy what you have and make it what you want it to be.
